Travel bursaries and extended deadline of 2014 VentBase 2014

VentBase 2014 is pleased to announce support from InterRidge for two student participants completing post-graduate research in a relevant field. The travel bursaries provided by InterRidge will contribute upto USD 2500 per student towards travel costs associated with the workshop. To apply for a travel bursary, students must submit an abstract/statement of interest through the online submission page. Students will also need to compose a 200 word summary of why the workshop is important to their research and how they think participation will benefit their studies.

2013 AGU session V004. Chemical Evolution of the Earth’s Mantle

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to call your attention to and encourage you to submit abstracts to AGU Fall Meeting session: V004. Chemical Evolution of the Earth’s Mantle.  As a reminder, the abstract deadline is fast-approaching, and abstracts must be submitted by 6 August 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT.

The nature and distribution of chemical heterogeneities in the Earth’s mantle have important implications for our understanding of the structure of mantle convection, mass fluxes, and partial melting.

Mascarene Islands and GEOCEAN meetings - registration deadline: 31 May 2012

Please note that the two meetings advertised below each have a registration deadline of Thursday 31 MAY 2012. Organisers would appreciate those interested to register this week, to indicate the degree of support these meetings have.

RIDGES AND HOTSPOTS AROUND THE MASCARENE ISLANDS: PRESENT ACTIVITY, PAST EVOLUTION;

3-7 Sept 2012, Mauritius
Details and Registration: http://www.interridge.org/mauritius
==================================

Join us for the GEOCEAN scientific Symposium, in tribute to Jean Francheteau, followed by a Summer School focused on:

GEODYNAMIC PROCESSES AND BIOCHEMICAL INTERACTIONS AT SEAFLOOR SPREADING RIDGES

Organised in Brest, France, August 27-28 (Symposium) and August 29-21 (Summer school) 2012

InterRidge-sponsored meeting: Ridge and Hotspots around the Mascarene Islands: present activity, past evolution

This meeting will take place on 3-7 Sept 2012 and will cover:
- Mid ocean ridges processes: volcanism, tectonics, and hydrothermalism
- Hotspots, ridges, and their interactions
- The fate of volcanic islands: from construction to destruction with a focus on the Mascarene Islands and the nearby Indian Ocean.

Workshop: Ocean Mantle Dynamics: from Spreading Center to Subduction Zone

The above meeting will be held on 4-6 October 2011 at AORI, Tokyo, Japan, with an optional field trip on 2 October. Registration is now open and attendees are encouraged to post their interest as soon as possible. All details are available from the Japanese website.

In this meeting, there will be a focus on three objectives of crustal and mantle imaging, with an emphasis on mantle dynamics:

Background and Objectives

What have and can we derive from crustal and mantle imaging beneath the ocean together with laboratory and numerical studies?

InterRidge participates at KOPRI's 16th International Symposium on Polar Sciences

On June 10-11, the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) hosted the 16th International Symposium on Polar Sciences in Incheon, Korea. The symposium brought together ~144 scientists from the broad fields of both ridge and climate research, representing 11 countries around the globe. The meeting was timely, with the expected launch this week of the new Korean research icebreaker R/V Araon, with sea trials planned for November 2009.

Scientific questions and recommendations from the InterRidge Seafloor Mineralization Working Group

The InterRidge Working Group on Seafloor Mineralization (SMWG) has developed three groups of questions and recommendations to advance the scientific knowledge of seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits:
What are the spatial controls on hydrothermal activity and SMS deposition?
What are the timescales for the evolution of SMS deposits?
What are the changes in biological communities that occur during the evolution of an SMS deposit?
Recommendations range from developing a list of criteria to quantify the extent of activity at a hydrothermal vent site, to using cutting‐edge technology to locate and characterize inactive deposits, to encouraging biological studies of inactive and extinct SMS deposits.
